Hello,
I have a question about moving between shares on the NSLU2, it's a
very basic question but some brief advice would still be appreciated :)

On my NSLU2, I have set up 4 shares, \admin 1, \user1 (me), \user2 (my
wife), and \public (renamed disk 1). There are 3 users on the system:
admin, u1 and u2. The admin can see all shares. User1 can see his and
the public share. User2 can see hers and the \public share. I set the
username and password for the his and hers accounts to be the same as
the local logins on the PCs we usually use, i.e. my desktop and her
laptop. So when I log in to my PC I can browse \user1 and the \public
network space without the need for a further login, ditto my wife from
her laptop for \user2 and \public.

That's all fine and dandy. But I'd also like to be able to administer
all the shares from my PC if needs be. Thing is, if I connect to my
wife's share using her login and password, I don't seem to be able to
disconnect from it without logging out of my PC and logging back in.
So for example i log into my wife's account but then when I try to log
into the admin account I'm told sorry, one user can't be connected to
more than 1 account at the same time (or something like that). If I
log in as the sysadmin first then of course i can see all shares, but
I would like to understand what's going here in a bit more depth.

So, how can I disconnect from a share / login myself without logging
out of the whole PC? Note - I don't mean "disconnect network drive", i
haven't set any of these shares up as drives, they just exist under
"My Network Places" as shares. I'm running Windows XP Home (SP2) if
that makes any difference.

Hope this makes sense. It's not a big problem now, but as the file
system grows and the shares get more complex to administrate, I'd like
to know that I can switch between them without being logged in with
administrator privileges all the time.

cheers for your time
Mandella
